I've sold a few to the same early adopter folks for a long time.  Seeing lots of new names now.  Some mention they are buying for grandkids.

What you are seeing is the beginning of a national brand displaying cryptocurrency getting noticed by mainstream collectors.  We all know the one off makers of our coveted cryptocurrency coins but, it usually takes a national retailer to bring awareness to the mainstream collector.  Topps is nationally recognized and with a little luck we can see massive jumps in value as supplies become scarce.  Well, this is my opinion anyway

I thought I read somewhere that its estimated there are only 1,100 of the base rookie card.

not sure how that was determined.

Hey Stace, this is impressive for sure.  This really looks like a breakout if the plain base is this high.

I have to agree.  The timing is perfect with Doge and Elon Musk, so even those that didn't follow before are now following.  My hunch is that many of those buying like baseball cards and cryptocurrency and they see how things can go to the moon quickly.  They know that even though the base cards aren't super rare, they are much lower than the circulating supply of the coins and tokens they follow.

It won't take much to send us to the stratosphere from here.  350 is the new base for a PSA 10.  Didn't think that would happen this year.  If this turns out not to be an anomaly, we can see 1500 by year end.

Agree with you, also flying under the radar but, just starting to catch mainstream eye is the 2014 Lionel racing die cast cars,  advertising dogecoin and reddit on the car.  The regular 1/64th scale are nearing 500.00 I believe there were around 500 total made but there was the platinum series 1/24 scale of which only 34 were ever made.  Like the topps cards this is also a national brand, can't believe I missed it.

Just my opinion but, it looks like we are headed for a massive runup in price like the magic cards at any moment.  Six figures easy depending on the rarity of the card.  There are buyer/collectors that have no problem spending a quarter of a million to have there rare collectables.

Daily all time highs. and word hasn't gotten around much.  Smart money getting in now. if you pay a few hundred more than you should, no big deal.  But, every indication is this card is going to pop soon.  maybe a base PSA going to $1k may happen mid-year now.

Sky is the limit for items with serial number,  i think ginter x will be especially appealing given the striking all-black color and the fact that you can't buy packs any more.
